Here's some advice we pulled from our files if you're travelling. Take a minute to review it.

Motorists: Slow Down and Watch For Wintering Wildlife

With deer and elk wintering along many of Idaho’s roads, Idaho Fish and Game encourages motorists to slow down and be on the lookout, especially during the dawn and dusk hours when wildlife is most active.

Motorists should also:

Always wear your seat belt – it’s the law.

Don't swerve or lose control of your vehicle. Try to brake as much as possible and stay on the roadway. You risk less injury by hitting the animal.

If you see one animal cross the road, look for a second or third to follow.

If you spot an animal ahead, slow down immediately and honk your horn.

Pay attention to Wildlife Crossing caution signs. They are there for a good reason.
